IFB No. S25882527A

The California Prison Industry Authority (CALPIA) has issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. S25882527A for the rental of a specialized air conditioning unit for its facility located in Lancaster, California. Specifically, the procurement seeks one 25-ton package air conditioning unit with 460v-3ph-60Amps configuration, which must be trailer mounted and deployed at the CALPIA AVP Coding Training Room, Building #522. The bid opportunity spans multiple Los Angeles County jurisdictions, including Los Angeles County, Lake Los Angeles CDP, Los Angeles City, and East Los Angeles CDP. The solicitation was posted on September 2, 2025, with proposals due by September 16, 2025, providing potential vendors approximately two weeks to prepare and submit their bids. The procurement appears to be a straightforward equipment rental with specific technical requirements, targeting vendors capable of providing industrial-grade climate control equipment that meets CALPIA's precise specifications.

While the solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, potential bidders should carefully review the full bid documentation for any potential qualifications or enterprise requirements. The contract appears to be a relatively focused procurement with a narrow scope of equipment rental, suggesting that standard commercial vendors with industrial HVAC rental capabilities would be eligible to respond. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the available documentation, and no specific budget range is indicated for the equipment rental. Vendors interested in responding should ensure they can meet the technical specifications, including the precise electrical requirements (460v-3ph-60Amps) and the trailer-mounted configuration necessary for the CALPIA facility in Lancaster. Prospective bidders should also be prepared to demonstrate compliance with any standard state procurement requirements and provide necessary documentation of equipment specifications and rental terms.
